'World' in the Bible

Once more the Devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, along with their splendor.

"You are the salt of the world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It's good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people.

"You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.

This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet when he said, "I will open my mouth to speak in parables. I will declare what has been hidden since the creation of the world."

while the field is the world. The good seed are those who belong to the kingdom, while the weeds are those who belong to the evil one.

because what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?

How terrible it will be for the world due to its temptations to sin! Temptations to sin are bound to happen, but how terrible it will be for that person who causes someone to sin!

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

because at that time there will be great suffering, the kind that hasn't happened from the beginning of the world until now and certainly won't ever happen again.

"Then the king will say to those on his right, "Come, you who have been blessed by my Father! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world,

I tell all of you with certainty, wherever this gospel is proclaimed throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?

who will not receive a hundred times as much here in this world homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, along with persecution as well as eternal life in the age to come.

I tell all of you with certainty, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

Then he told them, "As you go into the entire world, proclaim the gospel to everyone.

Now in those days an order was published by Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be registered.

The Devil also took him to a high place and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant.

What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world, but destroys himself or is lost?

so those living today will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that was shed since the foundation of the world,

who will not receive many times as much in this world, as well as eternal life in the age to come."

People will faint from fear and apprehension because of the things that are to come on the inhabited world, because the powers of heaven will be shaken.

This was the true light that enlightens every person by his coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.

The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

Because God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world would be saved through him.

And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.

They kept telling the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, because now we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world."

When the people saw the sign that he had done, they kept saying, "Truly this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"

The bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

I'm the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he'll live forever. And the bread I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its actions are evil.

Later on, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

He told them, "You are from below, I'm from above. You are of this world, but I'm not of this world.

Jesus told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

As long as I'm in the world, I'm the light of the world."

Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge it, so that those who are blind may see and so that those who see may become blind."

how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, "You're blaspheming,' because I said, "I'm the Son of God'?

Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

"Yes, Lord," she told him. "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world."

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

The one who loves his life will destroy it, and the one who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin. Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out.

I've come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me won't remain in the darkness.

If anyone hears my words and doesn't keep them, I don't condemn him, because I didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, because he lives with you and will be in you.

"In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

Judas (not Iscariot) asked him, "Lord, how is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

I'm leaving you at peace. I'm giving you my own peace. I'm not giving it to you as the world gives. So don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be afraid.

I won't talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

But I'm doing what the Father has commanded me, to let the world know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us leave this place."

"If the world hates you, you should realize that it hated me before you.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as one of its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.

When he comes, he will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment

and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you'll cry and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You'll be deeply distressed, but your pain will turn into joy.

When a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.

I left the Father and came into the world. Now I'm leaving the world and going back to the Father."

I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you'll have trouble, but be courageous I've overcome the world!"

"So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.

I have made your name known to these men whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

"I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, because they are yours.

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your Name, the Name that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

"And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.

I'm not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.

They don't belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.

Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

so that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

"Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me.

Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the Temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my servants would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But for now my kingdom is not from here."

Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is committed to the truth listens to my voice."

Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down, the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.

One of them named Agabus got up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine all over the world. This happened during the reign of Claudius.

When they didn't find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials and shouted, "These fellows who have turned the world upside down have come here, too,

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn't live in shrines made by human hands,

because he has set a day when he is going to judge the world with justice through a man whom he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."

There is a danger not only that our business will lose its reputation but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be brought into disrepute and that she will be robbed of her majesty that brought all Asia and the world to worship her."

When the city recorder had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, who in the world doesn't know that this city of Ephesus is the keeper of the temple of the great Artemis and of the statue that fell down from heaven?

For we have found this man a perfect pest and an agitator among all Jews throughout the world. He is a ringleader in the sect of the Nazarenes

First of all, I thank my God through Jesus the Messiah for all of you, because the news about your faith is being reported throughout the world.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes his eternal power and divine nature have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.

Of course not! Otherwise, how could God judge the world?

Now we know that whatever the Law says applies to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the Law, but through the righteousness produced by faith.

Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned.

Certainly sin was in the world before the Law was given, but no record of sin is kept when there is no Law.

But I ask, "Didn't they hear?" Certainly they did! In fact, "Their voice has gone out into the whole world, and their words to the ends of the earth."

Now if their stumbling means riches for the world, and if their fall means riches for the gentiles, how much more will their full participation mean!

For if their rejection results in reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance bring but life from the dead?

Do not be conformed to this world, but continuously be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.

Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? God has turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense, hasn't he?

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe through the nonsense of our preaching.

But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed.

And God chose what is insignificant in the world, what is despised, what is nothing, in order to destroy what is something,
